Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation generally avoids OS-specific bias, but in the 'Limit scale-out' section, both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples are provided, with PowerShell given its own tab. In the 'Scale-in behaviors' section, a specific note is made for 'app running on Windows in a Consumption plan', with no equivalent mention for Linux. There are no Linux shell or bash examples, and the only OS-specific scenario called out is for Windows. This subtly prioritizes Windows and PowerShell users, and omits parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit bash/Linux shell examples alongside Azure CLI and PowerShell, especially for configuration changes.
  • When mentioning Windows-specific behaviors (such as drain mode), clarify whether there are differences for Linux, or state explicitly if there are none.
  • If PowerShell is given a dedicated example, consider providing equivalent bash scripting for Linux users.
  • Review all examples and notes to ensure Linux users are equally represented and not left to infer behavior or commands.
